Graduation at Ciências Biológicas from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - Campus of Rio Claro (1995), master degree at Zoology from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - Campus of Rio Claro (1998) and doctor in Zoology from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - Campus of Rio Claro (2002). Currently is Associated professor in Cell Biology of Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho - Campus of Jaboticabal and the main expertise is invertebrate zoology, acting on the following subjects: histology and ultrastructure of the invertebrate cells. The current focus is the crustacean reproductive system morphology and evolution. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The morphological description of the larval stages of Decapoda crustaceans contribute to the classification of new species in an integrated manner along with molecular biology and adult morphology, contemplating the requirements of modern taxonomy. Furthermore, larval studies assist in the identification of species, the description of new taxa, as well as ecological, behavioral and distri…
In an unprecedented way, we propose to carry out a broad, diversified and rigorous taxonomic analysis on the Brazilian biodiversity of marine, estuarine and freshwater decapod crustaceans. This initiative aims to answer important questions about the species that make up this taxon and topics considered key to the understanding of its biodiversity, such as: life cycle, biogeographic patter…
This proposal, with sights to the sustainable use of biodiversity, searches new solutions by means of techniques and procedures for the analysis of some aspects of the biodiversity of the decapods crustaceans of the São Paulo coast. Thus, the main objective is the optimization in set of the application of molecular techniques (mitochondrial and nuclear DNA) and morphological analyses of a…
The morphological description of the larval stages of Decapoda crustaceans is significantly important for the classification and identification of new species, which have been described mainly based on adult and juvenile forms, integrated with other tools, such as molecular biology, contemplating the requirements of modern taxonomy. The identification of larval stages can be a complex tas…
The gall crabs belonging to the Family Cryptochiridae constitute a unique cryptic and little-known group of obligate symbionts of scleractinian corals (Anthozoa, Cnidaria). In Brazil, even with unique species making up the important national biodiversity (e.g. Opecarcinus hypostegus, Troglocarcinus corallicola, Troglocarcinus hirsutus and Kroppcarcinus siderastreicola) such associated fau…
The spermatozoa ultrastructure, or spermiotaxonomy, is an important tool that can differentiate closely related groups based on key spermatozoa characters. There have been many studies on crustaceans with this focus, and most of them have addressed brachyuran and anomuran crab species. However, few integrate different techniques of electron and optical microscopy for a complete descriptio…

The Dromiidae family is basal in Brachyura and little known from the histo-morphological and ultrastructural point of view. The general objective will be to detect possible morphological and histological patterns of the male reproductive system, seminal fluid production, mating behavior and sperm transfer. We will also carried out the acrosome reaction and perform espermiotaxonomia in Bra…
Studies on Hypoconcha parasitica are related to the external morphology, larval development and spatial distribution among other crabs. However there is no work on the reproductive system of Dromiidae, as well to Hypoconchinae sperm. Therefore, the aim of this study is describe the male reproductive system of H. parasitica and use sperm traits to understand the phylogenetic relations in D…
